A striking picture of the degradation of woman as brought about by war was presented by Mr. Gates in his Monday morning address. He referred to what he had himself seen in Munich, Frankort on the Marn, and other German cities, where women were yoked with cattle, to do the work of the fields, 70 year old women, with snow white hair, carrying bricks and mortar and sawingvwood. All this he attributed to the withdrawal of men from industrial pursuits to form a standing army. A summary ol the resolutions just passed by the Senate and the House of Representatives was given, and explanation made of the differences between them, as well as the legislative action which wou'ld naturally follow each one.

He declared that it was absurd to raise a war cry concerning the Maine, as no responsibility for it had been fixed by proof. Emma E. White. Claire L. Herder and Rowena K.
